Bug Description
[Impact]
While we were able to address many bugs in the last update (see bug 1980180 for additional information), a new point release has been published in the meantime, including the following fixes (summarized from https:/
- The "About" and "Debug" buttons were not translated
- Python compatibility fixes
- Locale location fixes included, fixing a noticeable user regression
- Translation updates
Calamares is not installed by default on the system, and only exists on the live image for Lubuntu and Ubuntu Studio, the release managers of which are in support of this update.
Given that 22.04.1 was just recently released, getting this update through now results in more potential testing time on the Jammy dailies, for both flavors in question.
[Test Case]
We have a thorough update suite used for Lubuntu, available here and in subpages: https:/
The short of the test case is, we will attempt to install Lubuntu and Ubuntu Studio using a variety of installation methods. Since this was thoroughly completed in the past (and we have a baseline "known working" up to 3.2.60), any failure in the documented testing process is likely to reveal a regression.
[Regression Potential]
Given that this is marked as an LTS series upstream, we are not the only Linux distribution to use this installer, and it has been tested in a wide variety of environments, it is unlikely that a regression will present itself. If one did present itself, it could be in the following areas:
- Locale generation could break entirely if the code changes were not done correctly
- Python compatibility fixes could break if Ubuntu's Python is drastically different than Python shipped in other Linux distributions
- Given that this upstream update was tested on a current Linux base, it would not be surprising to see an incompatibility
That all being said, the chances of any regression are unlikely.
